Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) leads to several vascular and neurological complications, including diabetic retinopathy (DR). As the population ages, health problems in certain groups, including children and pregnant women, are drawing more and more attention. Pregnancy is one of the independent risk factors for the development and progression of DR. Pregnancy-induced changes may contribute to or worsen DR, which can cause a tremendous burden on public health. It is essential for pregnant women with DR and their offspring to minimize the risk of vision loss from DR in this population and adverse outcomes by understanding the development and processes behind this process. Thus, we have updated the recent situation of epidemiology, evolution characteristics, risk factors, pathophysiology, pregnancy outcomes for a better understanding of the latest status of DR, helping to improve maternal and neonatal pregnancy outcomes, and promoting health for women with DR.
